Will either put the gopro on it or iPhone in its waterproof case to get a decent video :)

I love jet bikes, I've hired many of them over the years from a small Yamaha when they first came out to a 130hp three seater seadoo, that thing done about 50mph and it felt twice as quick, 50mph on the sea is quick, scary at times tbh, ace though.

Wish I lived closer, I'd pop down :)

Is it a jetski or jetbike?
You sit on bike and it stays upright when you stop
You stand on ski and need speed to keep upright.
If it is the latter, I suggest that you get a 'shorty wetsuit'
You need to get speed up (while being dragged along) and then stand up (on the move)
Easy when you get the knack but with swimming shorts/trunks they will be down at your ankles (or off completely) when you stand up.
NB using in the sea you will need to flush the impellor with fresh water before putting away - the salt will damage it.
There will be a nozzle to attach a hose to flush.
Our son was exceptional - he did submarines - dive into a wave and come flying out the other side.

Now that would be an interesting sight, a dozen GM members all towing jetskis behind SV650s to the coast on a Sunday morning :D
